First Meeting (Remake)

Amelia sighed softly to herself. This was going to be her first meeting. She was going to save the camping thing for later meeting. She wanted to see their strengths and what they know. She had it worked out where no younger kids would get hurt during the meeting. First, second and third were to duel against each other. Fourth a fifth were to duel against each other. Sixth and seventh were to duel against each other. It should even out the field.

A chalkboard appeared. Amelia wrote down who would be duelling whom. She also wrote down three basic rules. Don’t use spells higher than your current grade level, don’t draw your wand while your opponent back is turned or they are looking away and don’t let someone win a duel because they are your friend. She also wrote down in thick large letters one question ‘What do you want our of Potter’s Amry?’. Being a democracy would help win over older members.

Hallie strolled peacefully along the seventh floor corridor. Being a Gryffindor and having her common room up in one of the towers mean't that it would not seem suspicious for her to be here, making that fact that Potter's Army meeting being held here only an added bonus - it prevented awkward questions that would rise if she were in the dungeons.

Alas, the gryffindor reached the wall opposite the portrait of Barnabas The Barmy attempting to teach trolls ballet. Hallie closed her eyes tightly thinking the words:
I need to find the room where Potter's Army meetings are held.
I need to find the room where Potter's Army meetings are held.
I need to find the room where Potter's Army meetings are held.
Hallie opened her eyes. The door had appeared. It was always a shame she had her eyes closed whenever she sent a request to the room, it mean't she never got to see how the door actually appeared, she had an idea it was some elegant transfiguration and was keen to be a witness of it.

Hallie tapped the door three times then entered the meeting chamber. Bookshelves home to defensive books and dark detectors lined the walls. Soft cushions were scattered across the floor among bean bags and drapes in the house colours were hung like a hammock across the ceiling. The room of requirement was her favourite room. It was the most splendid piece of transfiguration that the castle hold and whichever of the four founds invented it was the one to be admired, unless it was Salazr Slytherin of course, but chances are it would have been Rowena. She always was one with a creative mind.

'Hello.' Hallie greeted cheerfully to Amelia, the only other person in the room. Hallie had only spoken to Amelia a few times when she spoke of her interests in joining Potters Army and the odd times when Hallie was caught doing something mischievous like sneaking down to the kitchens late at night.'Excited?' She grinned, hoping to engage in conversation with the girl.

“Hello,” greeted Amelia. Amelia knew who the seventh year Gryffindor was. She didn’t talk to students older than her very often. “Accio book,” casted Amelia. A leather bound book flew into Amelia’s free hand. She pulled a quill out of her bag which was laying on the floor next to her. “Please sign in Hallie. It’s to help me keep track of people,” she noted.

“Just hoping I don’t have to rush down to the Hospital Wing today. I don’t feel like running up moving stairs today,” joked Amelia. She was worried about people getting hurt. But she was also looking forward to actually communicating with all the members.

Hallie took the quill from Amelia, dipped it into a pot of ink then began to write her name. She felt as though she were writing a binding contract as she dotted her 'i' and looped her 'oo'. Not that she had a problem with that, it was a chance to make a stand and a difference. Plus it was rather fun breaking the rules.

'I am sure the room could add on a hospital wing for us.' Hallie joked. It was the perfect place for an underground meeting. They shouldn't need to leave the room to get supplies, move for extra space because the room could create just that. Hallie began to think about all the things it had morphed into for her: a bathroom, a hiding place, a chamber of forgotten items, a laundry room, party room and now it had gone to the lengths of forming a meeting room.

'Who is expected to come?' Hallie asked. It was her first ever meeting and she wasn't fully aware who or how many other students were involved. However the main reason she was asking this was to see if a particular individual would be showing his face: Brian Sullivan. It seemed to be the sort of thing that he'd get involved in...

“It might though the room has its moments. I’ve had it create snakes instead of rope for me,” said Amelia. She loved the Room of Requirements. She loved to visit it because there was so much history to it. She also found some things that belonged to dead families here a few times. It was an exciting room.

“As many people as possible, hopefully. I told everyone in the PA to show up here but that doesn’t mean it will happen. Not everyone is dependable this time of the year,” said Amelia. She should be studying for her OWLs and her exams but she wasn’t. She valued preventing future deaths more than anything else.

Alex sighed. His body had given up on him for at least twelve hour of the night. And he found himself not being able to wake. When he finally stood up, he felt a wave of pain go through his chest. His heart started to beat more rapidly. Was Alex dying? Then his heart went back to a normal beat. Yeah, like always, he was just exaggerating. But there was a problem. Alex was very active, most of the people who know him knew that. They knew he did Parkour, they knew he did martial arts, sports, literally anything to keep his mind and body active. But that morning, it seemed like all the sores and pains that where supposed to come years ago, finally came. and it hurt!

After a while, he shrugged it off, because he had to get to the PA meeting. He had tried to lead the first couple of PA meetings, but had no luck, as no one had bothered to actually show up. It really sucked if you though about it. Back in first year you would love to be a part of something like this. And now everyone is interested in other things. Alex knew. He had been talking to some scouts, and maybe he would leave Hogwarts to join a Quidditch Youth Academy. He'd been talking to scouts from Spain, to scouts from England and Ireland, and even some from the US or France. But he still hadn't come to a final decision. And he wanted to talk to his friends and family before he did. Maybe after the PA meeting, he could start with Amelia.

He reached the room of requirement, and instantly sighed, as there where only two people there. One girl Alex had never met, and one of, if not his closest friend, Amelia.

Amelia’s eyes lit up when she saw Alex. She rarely got to hang out with him anymore. Between studying, the PA and Lance. She wasn’t sure she wanted Alex and Lance to meet. Alex is so confident and Lance isn’t always that confident. It also would be awkward since Lance knew Alex and her had kissed, once but still. She had never told Lance they were still friends.

Amelia ran up and hugged him. She had missed not seeing him. Their lives were so different from each other these days. “I knew I could count on you showing up,” she whispered, so only Alex could hear. She always knew she could count on Alex.

Alex's eyes widened as he saw his blonde friend run towards him and hug him. Alex's brain sighed. They did not hang out a lot, but Alex could almost definitely assure her that he would always be there for her, and he hoped that also worked vise-versa. Things between them had gotten a little awkward, as Alex dumb brain had decided to kiss her. Which is a weird thing Alex did, instead of telling a girl how he felt like a normal person, he had to go and kiss her. He had done it with a lot of different girls. And honestly, what Alex had done, had been messed up. He had kissed her, and then had gone a while avoiding her, then he had talked to her again, found out she had a boyfriend, and stopped talking to her again.

Well, now he would come to a PA meeting, tell Amelia he might be leaving Hogwarts to go to the QC Barcelona Youth Academy, or the QC London one, and Alex would have to be careful, because that might put another strain on their relationship. But now he was there for PA. "Of course, I'm gonna come." Alex whispered back, hugging her tighter, lifting her off the ground a few centimeters, and then letting her go. "Lots of people showed up, heh." Alex said sarcastically.

Domi walked along an empty corridor. She is late for the PA meeting today. Really she has a lot of things to do, and this is one of them. Domi sighed. Sometimes she thought about quitting some of her activities. But she enjoys them too much to even decide which one to choose. And then again, Domi wants to make a different with her life, and PA would definitely help her way.

She stopped and thought for a moment, until a crack on the wall in front of her turned into a door. The room of PA's meeting today. She opened the door and saw a couple of students. She walked, "Hello everyone." she said as she recognized Amelia as PA's new leader. It's certainly feels great to be back to PA again.

Amelia gave a shrug. It was still early. She hadn’t given up let. People may start to file in. She hoped. “Sign in Alex, trying to keep some records of who shows up,” she said. She had to keep her emotions away from her work. She was still upset with Alex for everything that happened but she tries not to hold grudges.

“Welcome. See Alex, people are still coming!” she called out. She had changed a lot this year. She would have never teased Alex a year ago but now she had no problems doing it. She hated to admit it but Lance was giving her a level of confidence she had never had with anyone else or with herself before.
